I know some ultra-orthodox groups deny the legitimacy of Israel based on Scriptural reasons, are these the same guys? Who are they and what is their reasoning for denying the Holocaust? I have only a passing familiarity with the terms used to talk about the various orthodox sects, so forgive me (and correct me!) if I am misusing any terms. tag:ask.metafilter.com,2006:site.52906 Mon, 11 Dec 2006 15:51:36 -0800 haredim holocaust holocaustdenial iran jews judiasm orthodox ultraorthodox Falconetti http://ask.metafilter.com/24518/Why%2Ddont%2DChristians%2Dkeep%2Dkosher Why don't Christians keep kosher? I'm not very familiar with the new testament or Christian doctrine, and I've been wondering why the church does not promote a kosher diet. Jews can point to Leviticus as a source for the rules of keeping kosher. Christianity recognizes the old testament, and Leviticus is used as a source for a variety of church teachings (e.g., opposition to homosexuality, divorce, etc), but not this. Judiasm and Islam both have similar dietary restrictions, yet Christians do not. Why? I'm looking for pointers to church doctrine, biblical verses or similar.<br> <br> Please don't turn this thread into an argument about the merits of a kosher diet or an argument about religion in general.</font> tag:ask.metafilter.com,2005:site.24518 Sun, 25 Sep 2005 10:10:22 -0800 christianity diet judiasm kosher religion i love cheese
